Just to make things clear because I'm known for this kind of tasks on my games, this time it wasn't me  :funny:

We come back to the great equalizer of Arun praying to find it. "You got this dad." - Natalia
And just after, he finds the coin! They get the clue in 3rd.

Dusty is the last man in the trenches.

Natalia sees the tower on the map while Dusty is absolutely losing it.

Raquel & Cayla get to the tower and start running to Socrates. "There is only one good. Knowledge. And one evil - ignorance." He is looking into his soul before handing over the clue creepily.

DETOUR: Bring 'Em or Break 'Em
In Bring 'Em, teams must carry 500 plates to Cafe Jasmine. In Break 'Em, teams must smash through plates during a band ensemble to find a clue inside saying "White Tower".

Raquel & Cayla choose Break 'Em, while Kim & Penn arrive at Socrates' performance. They smash plates as well.

Dusty still absolutely devastated with this task. He get a solo harpist bit before it pans out to the whole theatre. Meanwhile, Arun & Natalia are easily distracted by the Greek language barrier that they are still very much lost. :funny:

Raquel & Cayla read the fine print and start smashing plates in a rhythm to find the clue to avoid overworking. They realize they have to put on gloves to search through the rubble afterward.

Dusty is frantically losing his mind.

Raquel & Cayla start their musical plates again.

Would definitely smash plates, especially after a couple hours flipping rocks or just sitting there waiting.

Cayla accidentally slices her finger with the plaster plates and they rack up a pile before finding the clue.

PIT STOP: White Tower! Last team to check in may be eliminated.

Kim & Penn arrive at the plates. "Can't wait to come back and never do this again." - Kim :funny:

Raquel & Cayla start running toward Phil. We get a spiel from the greeter before Phil announces they are TEAM NUMBER ONE! They win a trip for two for Travelocity to Kauai, Hawaii.

Raquel & Cayla want to be the fourth-ever all-female team to win the race. Meanwhile, Dusty & Ryan are still stuck at the Roadblock. Looks like we are in for a field elimination.

Kim & Penn still at the plate smashing Detour and Kim says one one of her friends got married in Santorini where she had celebratory plate smashing, but this task was different because of her internal rage. They find the tiny clue!

Arun & Natalia are driving in circles.

Kim & Penn arrive at the Pit Stop and get their "we have two ears and one tongue" speech and are TEAM NUMBER TWO!

Dusty hopes Zeus hits him with lightning. He keeps searching and is taking a breather. Ryan talks him down to enjoy the panoramic view. He had a temper growing up and had to swallow his anger and let it release. He continues searching after a while. "Breathe, Dusty, breathe."

That tends to happen when the only two tasks are both luck-based. Plus, once teams got to Thessaloniki, the locations were rather close together.

One RB and One Detour, with some RI in between. Unless someone chooses moving plates, we are getting fewer spots, as that was basically 2 places featured, the theater and the restaurant for plate smashing, and the RB even took over hours for the teams that found the coins first.

At least in your games, you can't accidentally pass over a clue like it seems teams did! I swear both Raquel and Kim flipped over the correct stones.

Kim did. A white stone.

EDIT: Both missed that same stone.

We come back to Dusty caught up in the ocean of boulders.

He doesn't know where to go as his time elapses past 3 hours. Ryan is speechless. "If I were a gold coin, where would I put myself?"

And he finally finds it. "I wanted to give up buddy, but I didn't!" - Dusty

Meanwhile, Arun & Natalia FINALLY find the location but are arguing where they need to park. :funny:

Ryan asks for directions while Dusty is still high on the fact that he finished the Roadblock.

Arun & Natalia realize this may not be the location. "You are just running with no direction!" - Arun

Kim & Penn arrive at the Pit Stop and get their "we have two ears and one tongue" speech and are TEAM NUMBER TWO!

And we also get the not surprising non-elim confirmation, via de number of departures.
3 Departures next leg, but with team 2 departing second does that mean, team 1 gets to depart by themselves, next leg?

Ryan & Dusty believe they are making good time while Arun & Natalia keep running. They finally find Socrates on the other side of the tower. They get their clue in 3rd and do the plate smashing. Ryan & Dusty come up from right behind to get their clue in 4th. All teams choose the plate smashing.

Arun asks for directions as they continue down the hill. Ryan & Dusty take a leisurely stroll into town. The father-daughter duo are dysfunctional with how they are smashing the plates and are arguing yet again. :groan: This is an I Love Lucy episode. :funny:

Ryan & Dusty get to the plates and start hurling them quickly. They get their tiny clue!

FOOT RACE TIME!!! We get adrenaline-pumping music!!! Arun & Natalia vs. Ryan & Dusty. Arun & Natalia almost run into oncoming traffic while a dog chases after the bros.

Loving the editing, making it seems like a footrace, but is it just me or am I getting the impression from the lighting, they probably weren't that tight close together.

Arun & Natalia try to cross the road while Ryan & Dusty pass. They are running from opposite directions and.... ARUN & NATALIA arrive on the mat in a close race. They are TEAM NUMBER THREE! "We're gonna turn things up, Phil!" - Natalia

Ryan & Dusty finally arrive on the mat and are the LAST team to arrive. They figured they were already in last. Dusty was disheartened by the fact the rocks took on the life of his old character. We get David & Mary's elimination episode music. Fortunately for them, this is NON-ELIMINATION LEG! They will be the last to depart, but No Speed Bump announcement. Speed Bumps are no more.

End credits.
